Public Ramp Warning

Posted: Sunday, 19 November , 2023

Anyone heading down, launching or landing on the public ramp at the Harbour, (between the WYC Club Ramp and the East Quay) please be aware there’s some damage near the bottom with a plank missing from one of the slots. At high and mid tide this is covered and could easily go unseen. Hopefully there won’t be too many people using it as we’re heading into Winter but take caution if you are.
Foreshore Services have been alerted and are arranging necessary action. Thanks to Sam Turner for the warning!

UFFA — Yachting’s Eccentric Genius

Posted: Sunday, 19 November , 2023

A date for your diary: on Friday 19th January (time tbc) the sailing author Malcolm Turner will give a talk at the club about the sailor and boat designer Uffa Fox. Malcolm’s recent book, UFFA — Yachting’s Eccentric Genius, is the first biography of Uffa Fox to appear for fifty years. Malcolm is an entertaining and amusing speaker, and his talks are often sell-out events. His book has created a lot of interest following the popular UF50 celebration which took place in Cowes in 2022. The event is free, and we’ll send out further details nearer the time.
